Hello there fellow humans,

I am posting this today because my best friend is feeling stuck with samsung phones (cloning everything from device to device over the years) and the only reason she does this is because she has lost her mother a few years back to cancer, and that everything, from snapchat photos to regular samsung-backed photos to (the most important according to her) her final text messages are … well … on her samsung phone. Cloned over and over again.

For now she’s okay with samsung phones, but I do not think that she fully understands what could happen if her last device with these informations remaining was to die horribly to a bathroom toilet or theft.

​

As such I am asking my fellow humans: is there ANY way to back EVERYTHING up (messages apparently get top priority) onto something less … proprietary?

​

I mean, death is what awaits us all, she cannot be the only one that wants to back up everything in a safe place that could be easily accessed and then let me help her by making the data so redundant that even AWS would blush.

​

Many thanks in advance :)
